Tree-mend-us

Branches flew over the house.

They came, they saw, they conquered.

They had to hold my wires up to get the crane into my driveway.

I held my breath a lot while they extended the crane and reached into the backyard.

The crane lifted the cutter up to the tree. Then they had to decide a balance point between the branches end and the stump end of each cut they made and attach a cable at that point.

The final resting place of most of the tree was into the chipper. The bigger pieces are beside the driveway and up for grabs, first come first served.
I no longer have a tree on my house. YEAH!!!

New Year's pictures

As you can see I found a way to get pictures from the camera to this computer. It took a trip to Walmart and $25.00 later I have what I need to hook up the memory card out of my camera to the computer.

Today was grocery day so I drove to a H.E.B. store and shopped. It was warm enough that I ran the generator and kept the overhead fan going for the dogs. After a week or so of cold weather a day in the 80's can be a shock to everyone.

A large part of last night and today was spent loading things onto the computer, like yahoo messenger. It was worth it when I saw someone on their web cam. Don't know if I could handle a web cam for me. I might do things that weren't photogenic, like the Walmart greeter who was picking his nose just as we came in the door tonight.

You hang around long enough you can see about anything.
